About wine:

The savory bitterness of the finish has northern overtones in Corbières Le Blanc de l'Œuf. Brilliance and crystalline light emanate from this ambitious cuvée, made from the last selection of grapes from the estate's main plot.

About the estate:

Former restaurateurs in Alsace, Pierre and Mireille Mann gave in to their irrepressible desire to become winegrowers, settling in 2005 in the maritime sector of the Fitou appellation. After three years in a cooperative cellar, during which time they converted the vineyard to organic farming, they began production at Mas des Caprices in 2009. The vineyard is located on the Leucate plateau, on the edge of cliffs overlooking the sea, in a magnificent and unspoiled environment. Harmoniously blending easy-drinking wines with more ambitious ones, the wines give pride of place to local grape varieties (Carignan and Grenache Gris), combining maturity and freshness of fruit. This is a particularly consistent range, where freedom of expression is combined with precision of flavor.
